So, considering the number of times people have asked about this topic and I'd immediately start typing out for them to check the forums, I'd remember that it was hidden behind the Questor board (because one of the previous immortals apparently thought that was a brilliant plan). I'll be posting it here to cut down on confusion and let the details be known.

Requirements :
200 TKE
Three months of active play
Application
Recommendation of an Immortal
Vote by Staff

The above counts for both Newbie Helpers and Questors, with the contents of the application being the only difference. Those requirements are not exactly set in stone, so aside from the recommendation and the vote, there of course can be a little leeway.

As for the applications themselves, they are as follows:

Quote:

NEWBIE HELPER

1) Character Name

2) TKE [Ask an imm to check yours if you aren't sure]

3) Approximate time as a player [months, years, etc]

4) How much do you know of canon rules/code rules?

Quote:

QUESTOR

1) Character Name

2) TKE

3) Approximate time as a player

4) How knowledgeable of the canon rules are you?

5) Give a quick paragraph example of a run you would like to do

Send any applications in a PM to both Yojimbo and myself. A reminder to the immortal to check for them might be necessary. Two weeks is usually the time you might want to wait before considering the application as denied.

Note that breaches of policy might put quite the damper on getting accepted, but does not entirely prevent you from approval. It's unlikely, but not impossible. Being hostile to everyone, insulting half the playerbase and breaking half a dozen rules knowingly in a short period of time? That will get you an outright denial.

Recommendations from an Immortal in this case is either Yojimbo or myself bringing it to the others for a vote before bringing it up to Che, though Questors will most likely have a larger interim before being accepted as they will have one more step: That being the player GMing a run or two for the playerbase without echo so we get an example of their style of GMing.

NEWBIE HELPER:
1) Be polite to newbies
2) Be professional
3) Remind them of policy if need be
4) Try to teach them to learn how to look for the answers themselves while also answering their questions
5) Don't be telling them 'builds', but options for them. We're trying to make characters here, not thirty dozen carbon copies with a different name.
6) Breaches of policy or rules might see your Newbie Helper status revoked.
7) Realize that the newbie channel cannot be toggled, so help those that need helping.

QUESTORS:
0) The GM has final say during the run, otherwise, contact an Immortal.
1) Don't be taking no guff from players while you are GMing. (Rule Zero if they don't listen. Bovine Bombardment if they still don't)
2) Attempt at least one run per month, playerbase and schedules permitting.
3) If a player is obnoxious or too much of a troublemaker, feel free to blacklist them from your runs.
4) Post the log of the run (preferably cleaning up anything aside from echoes, posts, says, and osays) to the Questor boards when the run is completed along with the payouts and Karma rewards. [Uploading the file rather than quoting the entire run in a post works better here]
5) Reasonable payouts and Karma rewards will be covered by an immortal. 1k to 10k will usually be accepted, but higher amount should reflect the effort necessary (Lower pay for more effort is still acceptable, because this is Shadowrun).
6) Echo is only to be used during RP events.
7) Breaches of policy or rules might see your Questor status revoked.
8) Letting an Immortal know you are beginning a run will help in getting rewards handed out immediately when you are finished.
